About the event

The Grand Rapids Pride Festival (GRPF) returns for its 38th year! Join us on June 20th and 21st, 2026, to celebrate the West Michigan 2-SLGBTQ+ community and support local businesses, organizations, and artists. Pride is a protest and space for radical interconnectedness. At our festival, you will find 150+ vendors, a beer garden (including non-alcoholic beverages), activities for all ages, food trucks, a sensory space, and local, statewide, and nationally recognized performers on our entertainment stage! This annual event takes place to gather 2-SLGBTQ+ folks and their allies in a safe, open, and inclusive environment, loud and proud.
